Buy the water power of the Passaic up to and including Little Falls. Allow the factories in Paterson the surplus water, and furnish to each, in addition, steam power equal to the water-power now used. Make about two miles of the canal, from the dam proposed, sufficiently large for the whole Passaic River except in freshets. At the Paterson end Of this enlargement, a short distance above Passaic Falls, take out the surplus water, and sell the power for the use Of factories. Thus the water power of Paterson, with its recommended steam auxiliary, will be more reliable, and actually increased, as estimated by the present mode of application.
